Thanks för the welcome !

thanks!

Thanks for the welcome. I read your suggestion of feeding pumpkin to help the overweight Corgi. Sandra that owns Kaley Corgi recommended pumpkin to me back in December. I put Rascal on a diet of half dry dog food & half pumpkin & he has lost 3 lbs between Xmas time @ the Vet "motel" & Valentine's Day motel visit. His indigestion has improved also. He loves pumpkin & it seems to help him fell more filled up. He was too skinny when we 1st adopted him but too many table scraps caused him to be overweight. Since he will soon turn 11 years old, I know he needs to stay slimmer to have a healthier longer life.

When we finally get spring weather here so I can walk him farther that will help also!

Hi Cindi, any suggestions for my sister. Louie terrorized us all weekend with his continuous nipping, and aggressive behaviour. I can see he is smart but does not take no for an answer. I hate to see him been disciplined harshly because that is not the answer either.
Everyone wants to get away from him because he is "annoying" and anyone new comes into the house he is after them constantly. What can she do? He is over a year old now. He seems to run the household

hi! thanks for the welcome. i just extended through july to make another tour overseas... so if i don't reenlist, i'll be out in a little over a year!

Thanks for the welcome greets...looks like you have a whole family of corgi fun everyday. now that bunni's full grown, she prefers to be described as "gorgeous" rather than "cute". she's the princess diva in her own silly corgi mind.

Cindi, I read the bit about overweight Corgis that you have posted and I have been watching posts on diet. My Lizzie is overweight. She shattered her pelvis a couple of years ago and put on weight--then she healed we went back to walking, then I ruptured my Achilles and the walking was cut short for a while once again. We live on a farm--she still execises, but it is not as much as our long walks. I am fully healed, and hopefully with warmer weather we can increase our walking again. She is now quite chubby. I have cut her kibble (Canidae) back to less than 1/2 cup ( 1/4 cup 2 x day) and put a filler of green beans in so she feels like she is getting more. I haven't seen much change. Does it make sense to cut her back more? I will also put a tsp of non-fat cottage cheese or non-fat yogurt in. Snacks are carrots and an occasional piece of Canidae bisquit. No more table scraps. I know part of her weight gain was from stealing duck and goose eggs, but I have been watching her pretty closely and haven't noticed her sneaking eggs nor I have smelled the tell tell sulphur gas that she would get from the eggs. Any advice? I appreciate your experience here.--Kristen

Thanks for the comment! I love the fact that you rescue animals. I can't wait to talk with you a bit more about your rescues!!!

Hi MoonMystic- This is Tallulah, your Petsmart corgi buddy! My parents finally made a page for me. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks for the welcome!

Thank you

Thanks for your response. You and your corgi friends sure are busy and doing good for people. I wish i could do something with Roscoe, but don't think he's got the personality for something like that. Enjoy talking with other corgi lovers.

Thank-you for the advice!! I will do that with the food. :)

Thanks for including me as a friend! :)

There are quite a few corgis here in Hawaii. Just on my street alone are 3.

Hi MoonMystic!! I am just visiting friends, but maybe I will ask a question to you and Corgi Mom while I am here. When should you switch from puppy food to dog food? I know this conversation has been done, but I cannot find it now here at MyCorgi. My Corgi Mandy is 10 months old. :)

Hello and thanks for the comment. I've enjoyed reading about your corgi's. Our Chloe is a pet therapy dog at the Kansas Veterans' Home. I work for the Kansas Commission on Veterans' Affairs and have an office at one of the state nursing homes. She LOVES to go to work with me and of course, the vets love her. I applaud your work with vets and corgi's.

Hello! I'm Hannah! I just joined and I LOVE CORGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my family wanted a unique and different name for her so we named her after a spring roll from the philippines.
